Coloplast Titan Classic doesn’t fully deflate

[Martin25]

There is no problem here. You are fine.
I have the same implant. The Coloplast Titan with the classic pump.

When I deflate fully, my penis looks quite flat at first. Like yours, a minute or two later, it’s not as flat. But keep in mind that no matter how much you squeeze, there is part of the cylinders deep inside your body and you can’t squeeze them. When you let go of the cylinders, fluid from the part you can’t reach will flow back into the flattened part you just squeezed.

I'll be getting a Titan, so this is all interesting to me.

Is it possible the fluid coming back into the cylinders isn't autoinflation per se, but instead residual fluid left in the tubing after deflation that finds its way back into the cylinders due to gravity or movement?

I was given to believe that adding a slight amount of fluid to the implant was the standard way of alleviating the dog ears, now I'm a little confused about whether that is really a best practice.

Dr Eid would tell you that the implant should be stowed as 100% completely deflated as you can get it

Wolfpacker,
Yes, Dr. Eid says this (you’ve commented on my posts and I thank you), but many, many men on this site keep their implants partially inflated and have not had problems doing so. Even though I did not have the best experience with Dr. Eid, I acknowledge him as one of the top surgeons… however, he is quite dogmatic about a few things, the tragic flaw of many doctors…
I decided to ignore his advice about making an incision in my abdomen to take fluid out of the reservoir because he made his ‘diagnosis’ without even testing my implant to see if it could deflate more. He did it just by looking at me when he entered the examination room and then he made his proclamation. Doesn’t seem very scientific to me….

I’m feeling fine with the way mine feels and looks now (even though I don’t think a Titan was a good fit for my body type).

Can you elaborate about why it doesn't fit your body type? Also, why remove fluid from the reservoir...is it palpable/visible? Was the placement sub-muscular or in space of Retzius?

Re-reading it seems he thinks that removing fluid would help you fully deflate. I'm with you I wouldn't do that procedure.

Thanks!

I should’ve said penis type, not body type … my reservoir is not palpable or visible, although there is a slight bulge, which I think is normal. It’s above my penis to the left, by the pubic bone.

Hello, i have the ams cx..after im done i just hit the button and let it deflate. I dont squeeze the shaft because then it looks horrible. Its rt at 6 inches this way soft. The mrs comments on it because im deff a shower for sure now. ha

Thanks for weighing in, but the one touch release is completely different from the Titan classic pump…

I posted this thread to see if guys who keep their implants partly inflated experienced any problems down the road, or if the classic pump was bound to have some backflow…and I got some reassuring responses.

I’m about 7 months in, adjusting to life with an implant…I’ve had my ups and downs, including a tough recovery and my partner initially not liking the feel of the implant (we had to get creative because of the slight downward angle), me having loss of sensation…but now I like having a working penis on demand.

However…when I deflate and squeeze my penis with my left hand while pressing deflate button with my right, I get a soft flacid, but after about five minutes some fluid flows back in (I have Classic, NOT One touch). I actually like the feel and look of having it partially inflated! Since I’m not that big, I don’t have a noticeable bulge…but then I started reading and I discovered this site. I decided on a new post (after being a lurker) rather than respond or post a question to an existing thread:

Do other guys have this situation (is it a problem? Idk) of backflow or some auto inflation? If so, is it something to be concerned about?
Also, do some guys just keep it partially inflated on purpose for the better look and feel?

I’m hoping there are some guys out there further along than me who can reassure me that leaving it partially inflated won’t lead to any problems down the road. Thanks in advance.

resign yourself, one touch or classic the titan self-inflates, it's a problem with the coloplast, they all self-inflate, in the end it's like having a malleable, at this point it's better to put a malleable, those who inflate it a little it's because the folds of the cylinders, hard, so-called dog ears, hurt and they inflate it a little to not feel that discomfort, at this point I insist, better a malleable no, however resign yourself and stay calm, the self-inflation of the titan is something everyone has

Hmm, I don’t think a malleable would be better…

But, yes, I have resigned myself, and I am calmer thanks to the feedback I have gotten to this thread. Thanks to all!

Cannot confirm this. I have a Titan with one touch and my implant definitely not self-inflate. Not the slightest.

Agreed! I have ZERO problems with auto inflation after full deflation with Titan 24CM almost 2yrs in
